I enjoyed your pictures, but especially the donkey pictures. When I lived in Bahia (North of Brazil) a boy with a little donkey (“jegue”) would come to our neighborhood to sell cashews. (The fruit from which the cashews you eat in the US come from are called “cajú” in Brazil; the cashews are just an appendix of the juicy "cajú"—kajooh: http://pinfotos.abril.com.br/busca/tags/comida/ee2b7fe2-c87c-4c72-9b9c-dee24d6b43c0/cajus) The donkey carried two baskets (called “caçuá”—kahsooah) on its back, full of cashews. I remember biting the fruits and sucking the sweet, pungent juice. Your farm seems like A LOT of fun! Milla

They are so beautiful - we have 6 or 7 who wander through sometimes bed down in our back pasture. I try to keep the water trough full and know they are prey animals - but such beautiful animals - they were here long before us - wonder if they'll be here long after we're gone??

Gorgeous shots, but yes... the deer can be such varmints. Our little miniature schnauzer, Ragz Mae Growlngrrr, takes great joy in chasing them out of our roses, vegetables and orchard. Fortunately, they never stand their ground, and discover what false bravado it is that she exhibits.

January 2013 update: I know word verification is a big pain, but it's the only way I can stop the ridiculous number of anonymous spam comments I get every day. I don't want to require commenters to be registered Blogger or Open ID users because I know many of you aren't. Thanks so much for your understanding!
